Fundraising for Frontline Emergency Equipment Trust
Story
it is amazing how many people suffer a Sudden Cardiac Arrest, and how few survive. But training communities and providing them with defibrillators we can change that and save more lives.’
Defibrillation needs to occur very soon after the heart stops, research has shown that when it happens within 3 minutes, 70 in 100 of the victims can survive instead of the 5 in 100 at the moment. We have living proof of this in our own village, when ................. Suffered a cardiac arrest at 11 o'clock one evening she was so lucky that her son dialled 999 and a passing ambulance was only 6 minutes away.
Norman Trebilcock, General Manager of FLEET said, ‘These PADs can make a tremendous difference in survival rates, FLEET are determined to help our communities with training and equipment to improve survival rates. It’s a huge project and we need all the support we can get.’
FLEET are also willing to attend groups of people who would like to learn cpr with Defibrillation free of charge but would ask foe a donation for appeal.For more info vist the FLEET website at www.fleet.org.uk
